David Zambrano

It’s 1986. Lisa Kraus, positioned slightly to the right of center of the image, falls to the side over one ankle, the other leg outstretched behind her. She raises her arms upward and lifts her head back, hair flying behind her. She dances in a spotlight on a mat on the floor that reads “DESERT ISLAND” in all capital letters. The image, captured by acclaimed dance photographer Lois Greenfield, is in black and white.
